The Future of Apple
The former CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs passed away a few days ago and many people are mourning his loss. Some people believe that Apple won't have much success now that he's gone. Others have said that with the products that Apple has recently released the company will have momentum for the next few years and they will be fine. The challenge will be if Tim Cook, the new CEO, can continue the success that Jobs lead Apple to for all these years. Jobs was instrumental in designing new technology and products that have revolutionized the world. The demand for the new iPhone 4S coming out soon is so high already and that's because of the new technology that was put in it and that technology was designed by Steve Jobs. Now that he is gone, people worry that in a few years the Apple products won't be making the huge leaps they are now. They fear that the demand for all their products will go down affecting the company's production, thus causing their prices to go up to make up for losses. Right now a lot of people are going to be buying Apple products just for Steve Jobs and this will be happening for a long time, so Apple should have nothing to worry about with their production and demand for their products. Apple will flourish and will forever flourish even without Steve Jobs. Tim Cook will take the company farther than it's ever been and will innovate this world in ways we will never even imagine.

Steve jobs was definitely the number one pioneer of today's technology and has changed how we look at and use technology. Since he's gone, there may not be as many innovative products coming out of apple. Even though he has left his company in good hands, they don't have the same passion and genius that he had. I have to disagree that people buy apple products just because of Steve Jobs. It's not his name; it's the technology. Since Steve Jobs was the main "backbone" of Apple, the company will never be the same again.
Apple has nothing to worry about because of th etactics that they learned from Steve Jobs. With his keen eye for seeing upcoming trends in technology, Steve Jobs would always buy companies or ideas that he saw would be really popular. This made Apple one step ahead of the curve. Regarding its future Apple has nothing to worry about due to its high stocks and there is a high demand for its products.
I believe the passing of Steve Jobs is extremely sad, but I don't think it will cause a major setback in Apple's sales. The company he helped build is so strong I find it hard to believe that the company will lose its shine. I for one, am a owner of numerous apple products and I know that I will never purchase any other brand. The quality of the product cannot be matched by other companies and Apple has proved that people will pay any price for amazing quality. It would be very hard for Tim Cook to run the company to the ground, but I guess anything is possible.

Steve Jobs changed the world of technology that we are so lucky as to live in each day. Although the passing of Steve Jobs was upsetting and significant, Apple will undoubtedly continue in its success. Similar to what Katie R. pointed out, the demand for Apple products is high simiple because of the advanced and unique technology, not necessarily the name connected with it. Tim Cook certainly has a busy job ahead of him, but Steve Jobs technically was not the CEO of Apple before he passed away. He resigned six weeks before he passed away and continued his role by working on the board. Also, it's not like Steve Jobs was the only person at Apple that knew what he was doing. There is no hidden ingredient; there are meetings held to discuss new technology and advancements constantly. Apple is one of the most successful and popular companies around the world and there is no doubt that it will continue its success in years to come.

I think that Steve jobs death has affected more people than we can imagine. Not only was he a creative intelligent man for Apple he is also n inspiration to many people because of how he go to the position he was in. Even though it will mean a lot that this quality of a man died, I do not think it will affect the sales of the company. If anything I think it might help in the short run especially with the release of the Iphone 4S soon. Also for the long run, I think Tim Cook has the right ideas and the leadership to lead the company in the same direction that its already going.
